About the Item

A powerful abstract expressionist caved elm wood sculpture by Japanese artist Takao Kimura, circa 1970s. Carved in two parts, the swooping, concave body plays dramatically with the oblique lines of the sides, and seems almost impossibly balanced on its angular base. The elm wood has a beautiful and rich grain, with gorgeous highlights Signed with a carved signature to the base.
